Training for a Better Environment. An Evaluation of the Environmental Education and Training Needs in Vocational Education in South Australia.
Guthrie, Hugh; Cesnich, Janine
A study evaluated the need for environmental education and training in vocational education in South Australia. Data were collected from the following sources: consultations with representatives of 16 organizations in the business, government, and education sectors; survey responses from 298 of 1,430 (response rate 21%) contacted organizations/individuals concerned with environmental management; and survey responses from 27 of 37 (response rate 73%) graduates of programs in the disciplines of land management and environmental health. Most respondents believed that environmental management is increasingly becoming an issue in many jobs. Because of the diversity of environmental management training needs both across the spectrum of the industry and within individual organizations, careful market research and flexible methods for consulting/networking with industry will be required when developing environmental management components for vocational education programs in South Australia. (Sixteen tables/figures are included. Appendixes constituting approximately 40% of the document contain the following: initial project brief; National Centre for Vocational Education Research's response to the initial project brief; list of consultants; environmental management training needs questionnaire; tables summarizing the environmental education needs of volunteers and employees in managerial, professional, technical, administrative, operative occupations; and levels of in-house environmental education currently being provided. Contains 32 references.) (MN)
